Indiana Mike is as free as he ever was to post as many on-topic messages
as
his little heart desires. Unlike Johnny Rebike (Ed Gin), I NEVER
interfere

with such messages.

Poor Indiana Mike does not have a clue about anything respecting this
group.
It was Johnny Rebike (Ed Gin) who destroyed this group. Don't believe me?
Go
back and have another look at the Google statistics for this group and
you

will immediately see where the big drop off occurred. It was in March of
this year after Ed Gin completely destroyed this group with his
forgeries,

his Monkey Island crapola and his overall criminal behavior.

Eddie boy,

Johnny ReBike is not Ed Gin. Only a doofus would think that.

Your style is as unmistakable as is the content of your posts. You can no
more camouflage your posts than I can. We both have inimitable styles which
give us away. I hope we can be civil to one another and not repeat the last
episode.

Can you give me an example?

You provided the examples yourself. DSL is Digital Subscriber Line or
Digital Service Line. It doesn't matter. You know that DSL = High Speed
Internet without having to know the exact details of what the acronym stands
for. My point was that it has become commonly understood and is no longer in
the category of jargon. If I said "digital subscriber line" without
capitalization you might not understand me but you know that DSL = high
speed internet.

The H in ADHD is for hyperactivity. The rest of the acronym you appear to
understand. ADD and ADHD are used together. There are more similarities than
differences. ADHD is becoming more used than ADD. ADD was the "technical
term" that replaced the older "Hyperactive". For most non-medical purposes
the two can be used interchangeably.

I have no problem explaining acronyms that you don't understand unless, like
our friend Ed, you post a message that says "I'm not going to ask and I'm
not going to look it up". That amounts to pride in ignorance.

As for other examples, it really is impossible for me to know what you don't
know but there are gaps in everyone's knowledge including mine. It happens
all the time that someone shows me the simplest thing that I end up being
surprised I didn't already know. I am often amazed but never do I claim that
if I don't already know it, it isn't worth knowing.

I will not look up [censored] like this. I asked what it meant and all I get are

understood.

No Ed, you didn't ask. If you had asked, I would have answered. You are far
to arrogant to ask. Instead you got confrontational and flat out refused to
ask. But why am I telling you this. You know who you are and what you did.
Remember when they called Kerry a "flip flopper"? If he was one then it must
be a skill he learned from you as you are clearly the living master of the
art.

I looked up DSL. To better understand it one would also need to know ISDN,
DSLAM, DBS, DMT, DWNT, DNS, DWMT, G.dmt, and G.lite along with a seemingly
endless stream of other acronyms and what they stand for.

So I leave all that with you and the others. If I must learn them I'm
confident I will when that day comes, but until then I intend to go on in my
own blissful, willful, arrogant acronym unknowledge.

Happy Trails.

It isn't important to understand the long list of acronyms that you
supplied. The important point is DSL = high speed internet. This is all that
the telephone companies who sell it need for you to understand. The acronym
has become a thing that doesn't require technical knowledge to be useful.

Likewise if you are a parent of a young child today, you don't have to
understand ADD/ADHD at a technical level to have a working knowledge of what
is involved. It is a subject that will come up and as a parent you will be
exposed to it over and over. All you need to understand at a basic level is
ADD/ADHD = learning problem or behavior problem. That is the core of what is
funny about applying it to Ed as a joke.

Are you sure you had "professional training as a college librarian"?

No wonder you didn't have a career as a librarian! You obviously
missed the reason for libraries!

Well, I clearly asked SOMEONE what it meant. Maybe Perry Butler? But I am

I expect others to write everything out unless the initials and acronyms are
as common as mud. It is highly presumptuous to expect the reader to look up
anything that is not common knowledge by resorting to initials and acronyms.
Intelligent writers never do that sort of thing.

Perry has got it half right, but at least 90% of the students who are in
college should not be there. They are way too stupid for anyone to waste
time on them. All they want out of life is to maximize their incomes and
they think they can do that if they have a college degree.

As a librarian I would delight in steering the student in the right
direction, but I would absolutely refuse to do any of his work for him. The
main function of a librarian is to provide the resources - period. It is up
to the student to figure out how to access those resources. The main problem
with most librarians is that they want to be TOO helpful. I never made that
mistake and I would give the student a good swift kick in the pants in order
to get him to do his own freaking research.

Of all the students I have ever had the misfortune to deal with, there were
only about 10% that were worth bothering with. All the others should have
gone to a trade school where they could end up like Perry Butler, a blind
man leading the blind.

Truth to tell, I am an elitist and believe that a college education ought to
be reserve for the privileged few. I am a European at heart and I do not
believe in this American obsession with education. All that most slobs need
in this world is a high school education with a trade school thrown in at
the end so that the working man can get an income from their miserable jobs.
Real education and real life is reserved for Great souls like myself.

The unexamined life is not worth living and that is the kind of life that
most men lead. I give you Perry Butler as an example of what I am talking
about.

This seems to take us back to our starting point where the only acronyms we
really need to know are the important ones which appear on magazine covers
or those that the marketers require us to know for the purchase their
products.

dolan should be Dolan.

Maybe you could take a cue from your mentor Tom Sherman and contribute
something to this group yourself instead of mindlessly trolling with idiotic
nonsense.

But in any event, Sherman was overrated by various members of this group. He
was OK when on-topic and he most definitely was NOT OK when he was
off-topic. But he is gone now because he got disgusted with the likes of
you.

It is amusing indeed to consider that Ed Gin (Johnny ReBike) has concern for
what others may or may not be contributing to society when all he has ever
done is to destroy this newsgroup by his criminal vandal trolling. Don't
believe me? Go back and review the posts of last February. There you will
see nothing but forgeries and false names, ever the hallmarks of a criminal.
